John’s Background

John Smithwick is a graduate of Oral Roberts University (ORU). After graduating, John worked with a handful of different organizations that taught and shaped him into the missions focused man he is today. These different organizations include: Teen Mania’s “Global Expeditions”, Tom Newman’s “Impact Productions”, Jerry and Marilyn O’Dells “O’Dell Ministries”, and Jim Andrews “Word of Faith Church” in Lima, Peru.

Since starting John Smithwick Ministries International in 1998 and Global Ventures team trips with his wife Martine in 2002, they have seen over 2 million people come to the Lord and thousands of instantaneous healing miracles by the power of God.

John and Martine started Global Ventures CORE Program in 2008 to train and mobilize future harvesters and ministry leaders in this young generation.

What We Bring to Churches:
